Xbox Game Pass Drops Eight Titles, Including Long-Staying Lego Star Wars, on October 31

Key points

• Eight games are leaving Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on October 31, 2026.
• The departing titles include Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Deep Rock Galactic, Wartales, Wildgate, Dead Static Drive, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Full Throttle Remastered, and Day of the Tentacle Remastered.
• Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is leaving after nearly four years on the service, a notably long tenure for a Game Pass title.
• The removal of Full Throttle Remastered and Day of the Tentacle Remastered follows Double Fine's departure from Xbox Game Studios.
• Subscribers can purchase these games at a 20% discount before their removal to retain permanent access.

Background

This is the second wave of Game Pass removals in October 2026, following the departure of nine titles, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, on October 15. The service has seen consistent monthly rotations, with 18 titles removed in September 2026 alone.

How outlets are covering it

TrueAchievements and GameSpot confirm the same eight titles leaving on October 31, with GameSpot emphasizing the Double Fine remasters and the co-op nature of Deep Rock Galactic and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. Bespin Bulletin focuses on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, noting its unusually long four-year stay on the service and suggesting its departure may be linked to Xbox's new leadership or Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. All sources agree on the October 31 removal date and the 20% discount for pre-purchase.

Why it matters

The departure of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga marks the end of a rare long-term Game Pass title, while the exit of Double Fine remasters signals the studio's reduced presence on the platform. Subscribers must act before October 31 to retain access to these games or purchase them at a discount.

What to watch

Xbox has not yet announced the next batch of Game Pass additions. Subscribers should check their libraries before October 31 to ensure they have played or purchased any titles they wish to keep.
